Looking back on the last week, I wonder what it would be like to not EVER see any of my kids again. Tami came on Tuesday and left the following Tuesday, but not a thing happened in between that was so spectacular that I could 'put a mark on the wall'. Just the usual, visits, smiles, exchanges of happenings, picture taking--all the usual stuff. Makes me wonder if I am getting so old that all of the 'usual stuff' is not penetrating my brain.
I seem to survive not seeing my other kids as often as I like. I guess it is because it is so far between Tami's visits that the score board flashes. There should be something we can do to relieve the nostalgia feelings that come when she comes and increases when she leaves. Anyway, I was happy to be able to go with her on one of the picture-taking safaris. Just remembering makes it all worth it. And makes me think that maybe the next visit won't be so long in coming.
I think I will write this again because it seems to have gotten lost in the fog. Or something. But Carla took Jackie and I for lunch for Mother's day. We went to a neat little place in old-town Silverdale where they make fantastic sandwiches, quiche and soups. After that we went to get our nails done. That makes the Mother's Day Feeling stretch out for a long time.
Bob was so antzy to get a riding lawn mower that he couldn't stand it. Finally got one---mowed the grass and was so tired he had to sit there and rest before he could make it off. Needless to say, I don't think he needs one. Maybe he can get a bunch of bunnies. Anyway, does anyone want a nice little mower? I'm sure this one is for sale!!
Did anyone see the moon Saturday night? I didn't but wished I had. Heard it was most spectacular, with rainbow rings in bright colors all around. Could it have been from the dust of the earthquake in China?
Luv y'all Ruth

grandma it seems that I haven't seen you in so long. It was nice to hear how you are doing. After my company heads out of town we will have to get together and scrapbook. I love you!
